Capitol Lake

Aspen - Snowmass

Capitol Lake (11,597’) is located 6.6 miles from Capitol Creek Trailhead in the Maroon Bells – Snowmass Wilderness. It fills a steep-walled bowl framed by Capitol Peak (14,130’), Mount Daly (13,305’) and Capitol Pass (12,078’). This mostly-moderate trail follows Capitol Creek through long intervals of aspen, meadows and open alpine landscapes to the lake, and continues over Capitol Pass into the Avalanche Creek drainage.
